Fixing, to fix—included in the title of this book—is a striking word and concept within architecture, planning, and design. In certain contexts, to fix means to repair; in others, to fix is to make firm, to establish.
Douglas Kelbaugh, architect, planner, and former dean of the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan, is not new to fixes. His first completed building was a 1975 passive solar house with a trombe wall—a design spurred by anxieties concerning the limits of oil and the limits to growth. As he investigated larger-scale solutions to such limits, he wrote Repairing the American Metropolis, among other books on similar topics.
